As I have said before, TJ KNOWS how to be a friend even to the point of being deceived at times.  Koach on the other hand is a lousy friend to TJ.  I believe a good friend would, at this point , seeing the unrest and potential harm to the U of L Football Program, say to Tom......you gave me a shot and I blew it.  Now, I am NOT going to stay and cause you more pain and possibly wreck everything you've worked your butt off to achieve for the past 15 years.  Instead, he is digging in his heels vowing to stay until it's fixed (yeah, like a bull in a china shop) and leaving TJ out there to defend his pitiful performance.  With friends like SK, Tom doesn't need any enemies.
